I thought quite a bit about how I was going to physically connect these things up. I want to have an 84 volt nominal system (which means that while charging the system reads 84 volts). This leads to a 79 volt resting charge voltage and a minimum voltage of 67 volts when fully discharged. This setup requires 24 batteries in series. If I place 7 of these guys together, I'll need 21 battery packs. Unfortunately, I only bought 20, so the next smallest pack I could make would be 18... but I don't want 18, I want 21, so I'll need to buy 1 more; actually, though, I'm gonna buy 2 more since the one pack has that leaky cell and it might take a bit to replace it.
